Suni Hunting

Suni antelope are usually taken as the opportunity arises while hunting something else.

When in danger, the suni freezes, remaining hidden until the threat is nearly on top of them, at which point it leaps up and dodges around bushes and shrubs, quickly vanishing into the undergrowth.
